Chapter 6-the rest Flashcards
Casting
- In the casting process, metals are first melted in a furnace.
- Alloying elements are then added and thoroughly mixed
(magnesium is added to aluminum to produce a stronger and
lighter alloy). - Oxide impurities and unwanted gasses are removed.
- The melt is then poured into a mold and chilled to solidify
recrystallization temp
Used in hot rolling where materials are heated to a high temp
% cold work
= [(initial metal thickness- final thickness)/ initial thickness] x 100
extrusion
metal workpiece (billet) is placed under high
pressure using a ram and forced through opening in a die
indirect extrusion
experiences lower friction on the billet and
therefore needs less power however has a limit on the applied
load
direct extrusion
produces products such as cylindrical rods, tubes,
and with some metals more irregular shapes
forging
metal is hammered into a desired shape
open die
Dies are either flat or
simple in geometry
closed die
Dies have upper
and lower impression – more complex
wire drawing
the starting rod or wire is drawn through
several drawing dies to reduce diameter
cold work of wire drawing
= (Change in cross-sectional area/ original area) x 100
elastic deformation
Atoms elongate resulting in overall elongation of the specimen. But
return to their original dimensions after tensile force is removed,
resulting in recoverable deformation
plastic deformation
Atoms break bonds and slip on each other.
Once slip occurs, atoms can not return to their original positions, resulting in permanent deformation.
normal stress σ
=(F -> avg uniaxial tensile force)/ (Ao -> original cross-sectional area) (lb/in^2 or N/m^2)
Normal strain ε
=Change in length/ original length
shear stress τ (parallel to surface)
=(S -> shear force)/ (A -> area of application)
shear stress γ (change in shape)
= amount of shear displacement a/ distance h over which stress acts = tan θ
linear elastic range
linear portion of the stress strain curve
yield point
The point on the curve when the elastic range ends
ultimate tensile strength σu
the largest stress the
specimen can take before fracture
Fracture point
The point on the curve where the specimen fails
Modulus of elasticity (E)
Stress and strain are linearly related in the elastic region. (Hooke’s law)
= stress/ strain
poisson’s ratio is always positive
= -[(w-wo)/ wo] / [(l-lo)/lo]
Yield strength
the stress at which
a material begins to experience
permanent or plastic deformation
% elongation fracture
a measure of ductility of a
material
= (final length- initial length)/ initial length
modulus of resilience Ur
measure of the amount of
energy needed to cause yield in the material
=1/2 (σy-Ey)
toughness
amount of energy required
to fracture the material. It is a measure of combination of strength and ductility
